Durant is a Soft and a Fake Champion and won’t win poo poo without True Champions, Klay and Draymond, and Associate Champion, Stephen Curry, to carry his loser rear end. he’s a Herb.

finals MVP, the most objective hallmark of quality and not at all a narrative award

Steph was never finals mvp

it’s actually not a bad award. narrative is fine when it doesn’t include stats. most of the time . at least the journos watch the games

not in the finals mvp .

well not as much as the regular season mvp which seems to be exclusively stats simulacrum

almost exclusively

still can’t figure out the Gobert erasure

steph curry changed the game because now everybody shoots threes, even centres, since it turns out three points is more than two points
